I agree with everything you say here, except for the asynchronous part. It's much better for a team to see each other face to face for a few minutes a day, especially for remote teams. It's wildly higher throughput than bullet points most people don't bother reading, it gets exposure for junior engineers, and it builds a stronger sense of being a team.
Someone who acts like being asked to spend 10 minutes a day with their team is some major imposition is worth losing over it.
- hosh 2y agoI see the same. There are places where the lone developer working completely async can work. Hopefully, they don't come out with over-engineered stuff that no one else can use.
- anonzzzies 2y agoWe chat about everything in our team, asynchronous. Works fine for 30 years. I find people who have issues writing down their thoughts and bullet points first (which means they will be answered or addressed by someone before they can even hit a meet invite button). Each their own of course; everywhere I go (and we see a lot of companies close up because the nature of our work), we have to push away the meetings as they never work at all. What helps is asking very high hourlies; then suddenly meetings are not so wanted anymore (which proves the point).
